SALMON BURGUR DURGUR?

Yes. Salmon burgur durgur. That photo at right, taken by Natalie Gildersleeve and styled by Matthew Domingo, is summer at Flying Fish in a nutshell. Salmon burgur durgurs are one of the stars of the new menu, and the steelhead sammich below is one of the staples. Jojos on the side? Check. Cold Oregon beverages on tap? Check that too.

It’s Flying Fish, here at 30th & Burnside, home of the salmon burgur durgur. Have it on our patio, have it at a picnic table, have it to go. Have it your way, I think I heard someone say once. Just don’t have it on the beer garden – the beer garden is for drinks and oysters. FYI.

It’s the first weekend in June. Things are looking up (Blazers aside). Order in, take out, do some shopping, have fun. And just as a reality check refresher, our current COVID POLICY: Please wear a mask when inside the store/heading to restroom and when ordering at the host stand.

All righty. The fresh list is upon us. As we go a little something like this, HIT IT.

TROUT CLOUT

You may think this photo was staged but this is just how nature falls into place.
This and additional staged photos by Natalie Gildersleeve.

Trout. Fillets. Fresh. Fantastic. Rainbow trout surrounded by a rainbow of veggies and herbs. Ain’t life grand?

And as for the parent salmon? Examine the salmon, Sammy, it’s slammin’, we’re jammin’, ain’t no famine, just salmon, you just won backgammon. Wow!

Chinook Salmon, the classic, the motherfish, troll caught in yonder Pacific Ocean. The Pacific bounty continues from Alaska to Hawaii and all shore points between.

Too edgy? Photo by Natalie.

Put a little sizzle on your tongue – that’s what pan seared sea scallops do. You can already hear the sizzle of a preheated cast iron skillet with perfect vegetable oil raring to go. Feed the need. Sizzle those scallops. Enjoy.

It’s salty, it’s smoky, it’s sweet. And if you spread it over some crostini with some stone ground mustard, it adds a tang of sour and the wholesome crunch of bread. Wow!

ABOUT FLYING FISH

Craig and Sandy Gildersleeve opened Flying Fish Company in Sandpoint, Idaho in 1979 – the year before their son Lyf was born.

Now president of Flying Fish Company, Lyf has spent his entire life around fish, including an aquaculture education at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University.

Flying Fish has three locations: Sandpoint, Idaho; Durango, Colorado; and Portland, Oregon. The Portland location opened in 2009 as a food cart at the D Street pod on Division Street. In 2011, we opened the fish shack on Hawthorne Boulevard. In 2016, we moved into a stand at Providore Fine Foods on Sandy Boulevard. In February 2020, we opened our standalone location on East Burnside with a restaurant and a patio.

Thank you for supporting our family-owned business.
